The Privacy Applications

The Privacy Applications

There are four interrelated grounds in support of the Privacy Applications:

Publication of the Decision Notices will have an adverse impact on the Applicant’s health (see [35] - [49] of the 25 March Application);

Publication of the Decision Notices would cause reputational destruction to the Applicant (see [16] - [23] of the 25 March Application);

Publication of the Decision Notices is not appropriate and there is an absence of urgency or consumer protection imperative (see [24] - [30] of the 25 March Application); and

Publication of the Decision Notices would reveal irrelevant personal information about the Applicant’s financial circumstances (see [31] - [34] of the 25 March Application).

The Privacy Applications each rely on overlapping grounds as set out above.
